Mid-size Electric Motor Propulsion System Testing

[DonStegall]

This is my test stand I use for testing mid-size electric motor systems.

It is very flexible and allows me to test EF1 motors, ESC's, batteries with transmitter control without having to mount the systems in airplanes.

I use it on motors from EF1 up to about .90 c.i. equivalent electric propulsion systems.

IN the photos attached here, I have a motor that I'm using in http://Club40Electric.com Silver and Gold class.

I'm drawing diagrams as it is fully loaded with ESC telemetry, pure RPM telemetry, and GPS (not that it gets moved while running), so that I can make sure the GPS module is set up and working properly when it has a view of the sky.

The drawings will help clarify what is setup and what the monitoring can do.

What motor and esc is that? I can’t tell enough from the pictures.

The ESC is a Castle Creations Phoenix Edge 75. The motor looks to be a Turnigy G60:

eCalc says the pitch speed with a 10x10 prop would be 98mph using a 6 cell LiPO.
